Drew Brees wants to “save the game of football” with flag football

It isn't a bad idea. So many people scared with all the injuries and concussions of late they don't allow their kids to play and if they aren't playing the game - they won't watch as much either. Lose interests fast.

I played in a military league. Had a good time - was fun.

Exactly. It makes sense. A whole new generation of kids are simply not playing football because of the fear their parents have of the tackle game. Getting them involved in flag football can satisfy the anxiety of the parents and can eventually lead those that have the talent into the high school game.
